position c is not horizontal ...they are not synonyms. kindly refrain from using technical language when you are not aware of the details.
plz visit ur omf surgeon for review. some times swelling takes a little longer to go away especially if surgery has been complex or complicated. pain will subside with pain killers and if not then there is possibilyt of alveolitis or dry socket happening as well.
